Depends on what you mean by "attacking the 1st."
Pointing out the possibility of desensitization through repeated exposure to violence in the media is not attacking the 1st.
On the other hand, criminalizing speech is (in all but the most extreme cases, such as yelling "Fire!" in a theater) most definitely attacking the 1st.
Suggesting that intelligent people can't back gun rights isn't exactly an attack on the 1st, in the legal sense, but the social pressure being brought to bear by the media on this issue is an attack on the 1st, in the spirit.
